When faced with building a new system from scratch, theer are painfully few reasonably priced options in any of these categories. The reality is that so many high quality products are OEM'd anyways, I'd love to see Outlaw expand it's offering into adjacent areas.

In the absence of an Outlaw alternative, I chose:
-Monster HTS5000 (paid $384 at Digitally Unique)
-Cobalt Cable Ultimate Power Cables (paid $119 for a 2M run)
-Denon's new 3910...still waiting, told Labor Day most recently (unfortunately full retail for the new uinit at $1299)
